Just because we’re still a week away from Thanksgiving doesn’t mean you can’t already save big on a new electric bicycle. That’s because most of the e-bike companies have jumped the gun this year in an attempt to beat each other to the punch. And when they fight over us, we win. Case in point: All of these awesome e-bike deals (and some e-scooter deals, too) are already live and running!

This list will be constantly updated in the days leading up to and through Black Friday and Cyber Monday. So be sure to check back for the revolving list of new electric bike sales!

Rad Power Bikes

Rad Power Bikes started early with its Black Friday campaign in late October.

One of the highlights of the Seattle-based e-bike company’s ongoing sale is that you can pick up a RadRover 6 Plus for a $500 discount. That’s a great off-road and trail bike for exploring outside of the freshly paved path. There’s also a $300 discount on the RadCity 5 Plus, which would make a great commuter bike when you’re sticking to the asphalt.

The RadRover 6 Plus is one of Rad’s newest e-bikes and introduced a number of novel features for the brand, including dual digital displays and upgraded hydraulic disc brakes.

The RadExpand 5 is also on sale for $100 off, which makes the new folding utility bike even more accessible to riders.

Lectric eBikes

Phoenix-based Lectric eBikes recently launched a highly upgraded version of its best-selling electric bike: the Lectric XP 3.0.

This folding e-bike is one of the best bang-for-your-buck electric bikes on the market right now, hands down. It offers speeds of up to 28 mph (though comes programmed for 20 mph out of the box, with the user able to unlock the higher speed via the on-board display). There are two battery options available for extra range, and the bike even includes a new motor and expanded rear rack for carrying a second rider.

The Lectric XP 3.0 carries an MSRP of $1,099, but is currently on sale for $999. That sale includes a bundle of free parts, such as a free lock, headlight upgrade, bigger and more comfortable seat, and a suspension seat post.

The cargo package and the passenger package are both marked down as well, so here’s a great chance to add those to your order if you want to save some big bucks.

It’s also a good time to check out the Lectric XP Lite as well, which is priced at just $799 and includes a number of extra accessories for free as part of the Black Friday Bundle.

Juiced Bikes

Juiced Bikes has some awesome deals running already on nearly every bike the company makes. It’s worth checking out the sales page to see what might interest you.

Some of the showstoppers include the popular RipRacer e-bike being marked down to a mere $999 and the HyperScorpion marked down to just $1,999. Both of those deals save you hundreds of dollars on some high-performance electric bikes.

Juiced is known for making e-bikes with higher power levels for more entertaining rides, and both of these bikes are guaranteed to bring a huge smile to your face. Have fun picking the bugs out of your teeth!

Ride1Up

Ride1Up has plenty of e-bike sales going on across almost its entire line of urban electric bicycles. You can check out the entire list here.

But if you’re looking for some of the best deals, you should check out the $250 off the 500 Series offer, which brings the bike down to $1,145, and $400 off the Ride1Up LMT’D, which brings that model down to $1,495.

Saving $250 on the now $895 Roadster V2 is also a steal of deal, as is the $250 discount on the $945 Core 5.

And if you want a fast yet comfortable cruiser-style electric bike that can carry a second rider, don’t overlook the Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser, which is on sale for $350 off, bringing the price down to $1,245.

We’ve reviewed nearly every e-bike in Ride1Up’s lineup, and the company’s overarching theme is quality, high-performance urban electric bikes for several hundred dollars less than you’d expect to find at pretty much any other major retailer.

Biktrix

Biktrix has sales of up to $1,000 off some of the company’s popular electric bikes.

This Canadian electric bike company has proven popular across North America for a series of commuter and fat tire electric bikes.

With both budget-minded hub motor e-bikes and more powerful mid-drive options, Biktrix has an e-bike for just about everyone.

Aventon

Aventon’s OG e-bikes are currently having a $300 off sale as part of the company’s Early Black Friday festivities. The Aventon Level V1 is marked down to just $1,499 (compared to the next-gen model at $1,949).

The Aventon Soltera now starts at just $999 for the single-speed version, which is a great way to get a high-quality commuter e-bike for a song.

We’ve long been impressed with the build quality of Aventon’s e-bikes. While they’ve added some awesome features such as frame-integrated lighting and new app support to most of their bikes, the OG models are still every bit as good as we found them to be when we first reviewed them, and they can save you some serious cash.

Carbo

Another lightweight and awesome-riding folding e-bike is made by Carbo, which has a $500 off deal with free shipping going on now for Black Friday.

Electrek’s own Seth Weintraub tested an earlier model of the Carbo and came away impressed with the bike’s performance, especially considering its lightweight package.

While many e-bikes these days tend to look like cookie-cutter versions of each other, Carbo has innovated with their own unique design that is immediately apparent when you hop on the bike.

Himiway

Himiway has a number of sales that take between $200 to $300 off many of the company’s popular fat tire electric bikes.

My wife and I just tested out the Himiway Big Dog, which is a moderate-sized cargo bike (though I’d call it more of a utility bike) and found it to be a fun bike for cruising trails and gravel roads. The big rear rack makes it perfect for carrying gear with you too. We’ve got a full review of that bike coming in the next few days.

Be sure to check out some of the company’s other models too from fat tire adventure bikes to speedy moped-style bikes.

ModBikes

ModBikes is running a big bundle sale that can save you some serious money on accessories and even a big e-bike rack for hauling your favorite ride on your car.

Buying one bike gets you the company’s Essentials Bundle that includes a rack bag, lock, phone holder, and more. But if you buy two e-bikes, you get two bundles plus a free Hollywood electric bike rack, which we recently reviewed.

ModBikes has a pile of interesting electric bikes to choose from, though my favorite by far is the Mod Easy Sidecar that makes it a snap to carry kids, dogs, or cargo along with you for a three-wheeled adventure.

JackRabbit

I absolutely love this hilarious little electric micro-bike.

Technically it’s more of a scooter, but it rides and feels like a throttle-enabled electric bike due to the larger 20″ bicycle wheels and the bike-style handlebars/saddle.

Not only is this fun little 20 mph runabout priced at just $999, but the company’s Black Friday bundle also includes a spare battery and a cargo box for free!

Propella

Propella’s electric bikes are easily recognizable thanks to their iconic blue on black color scheme, narrower commuter wheels and lightweight designs.

The company is offering huge sales that are taking as much as $300 off their already low-priced e-bikes.

The $799 deal for the Propella 4.0 SS or Propella Mini are awesome deals that offer those high value e-bikes at prices we’ve never seen before. Snatch these up while the prices are this good!

Blix Bikes

Blix Bikes makes some very nice riding Dutch-inspired electric bikes across a number of categories. From metro commuters to folders to cargo bikes, they’ve got a slick-looking collection.

In fact, the companies newest model known as the Dubbel is particularly interesting since it also has the ability to carry a second passenger on back.

I love when e-bikes can turn into multi-passenger vehicles since it greatly expands their utility as car-replacers.

Blix’s sale is taking up to $300 off many of the brand’s most popular models. Check it out before it’s gone!

Ampler Bikes

Don’t think we’ve only American brands taking part in the Black Friday festivities. Estonian e-bike maker Ampler also has some cash-saving deals going on now.

These high quality European-manufacturer e-bikes look great and ride even better!

I recently toured the company’s factory in Tallinn and saw just how they build these lightweight, sleek-looking e-bikes.

The company is having what looks like its best sale ever, taking $400 off the latest generation of it’s e-bike models and $500 off its previous generation bikes. These stealthy e-bikes definitely deserve a second look!

Gocycle

Gocycle’s premium electric folding bikes combine exotic materials with sophisticated engineering from former McClaren designer and company founder Richard Thorpe.

I’ve tested multiple versions of Gocycle’s e-bike models over the years, but the Gocycle G4 is one of my favorites.

The bike is normally priced at $3,999 but has been discounted a whopping $1,000, bringing it down to just $2,199. For a premium e-bike like this, that’s a steal of a deal.

It isn’t going to compete on power or range compared to some of the massive folding e-bikes we’ve seen before, but it’s lighter, easier to ride, quicker to fold, and will likely last years longer.

Area 13

Shoutout to the folks at Area 13 who reached out to let us know that they’ve got some great Black Friday deals running too.

There are a pile of different e-bikes on sale with savings of up to $700, marking one of the steepest discounts we’ve seen so far.

In addition to e-bikes, the company also has a number of accessories and e-bike carrying racks on sale too. It’s all worth a look!

FluidFreeRide

Speaking of scooters, if you’re on the hunt for a more traditional standing electric scooter, then you’ll want to check out the Black Friday Deals over at Miami-based FluidFreeRide.

There’s a bit of everything, from $450 lightweight commuter scooters to several thousand dollar high-speed and ultra-high power off-road and highway-capable scooters.

I’ve personally tested numerous scooters from FluidFreeRide and even visited the company’s headquarters to meet the team. Everything about the company I’ve seen has always been positive, so it’s a definite recommendation for anyone searching for an electric scooter deal right now.

Apollo Scooters

I had the chance to meet the Apollo team recently after having spent years testing their scooters.

From lighter commuters to all out speed machines, they have just about everything. They also put a ton of effort into ground up designs that pack in more innovation by eschewing off the shelf components in favor of custom scooter designs.

This year there are several deal to choose from on the company’s Black Friday Sales page, including chances to save hundreds of dollars on the Apollo Air, Apollo City, Apollo Ghost and more.

This is a sale you won’t want to miss!

There’s more to come!

It’s (obviously) still quite early, and so we fully expect more premature Black Friday sales to be announced.

We’ll be sure to update this post continuously as we find them, so it’s probably a good idea to check back regularly over the next few weeks.

Russia’s economy ‘stinks,’ Trump says, and lower oil prices will stop its war machine

Russia's economy 'stinks,' Trump says, and lower oil prices will stop its war machine

The rift between Moscow and Washington looks set to deepen after U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Russia’s economy “stinks” and that lower oil prices will hammer President Vladimir Putin’s oil-funded war machine.

“Putin will stop killing people if you get energy down another $10 a barrel. He’s going to have no choice because his economy stinks,” the president told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

Watch CNBC's full interview with President Donald Trump

The comments come after relations between Moscow and Washington, which remained cordial at the start of Trump’s second term in office despite the ongoing war, soured in recent weeks.

Trump has appeared to lose patience with Putin given Russia’s apparent reluctance to pursue a ceasefire or peace deal with Ukraine. Last Monday, the president said he was cutting from 50 days to less than two weeks his deadline for Putin to reach a peace deal with Ukraine or face big “secondary tariffs” on Moscow’s trade partners.

That prompted former Russian President and high-ranking Russian official Dmitry Medvedev to respond on social media that each new ultimatum that Trump makes about Russia to force an end to its war on Ukraine “is a threat and a step towards war.”

“Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country,” Medvedev wrote on X. Trump said on Friday said that he had ordered two nuclear submarines “to be positioned in the appropriate regions” in response to Medvedev’s comments.

Russia, one of the world’s top oil exporters, has used revenues from oil exports to largely fund its war machine in Ukraine, which it invaded in 2022. Ukraine’s Western partners have used sanctions and restrictions to try to stifle those revenues, but countries like India and China have continued to buy discounted Russian crude.

This has infuriated Trump and he has, in the last few days, threatened India with steep tariffs if it does not stop buying Russian oil. The president threatened a 25% duty on Indian exports, as well as an unspecified “penalty” last week, accusing New Delhi of buying discounted Russian oil and “selling it on the Open Market for big profits.”

On Tuesday, Trump told CNBC that the tariff threshold could be hiked above 25% in the next 24 hours.

“India has not been a good trading partner … so we settled on 25%, but I think I’m going to raise that very substantially over the next 24 hours, because they’re buying Russian oil, they’re fueling the war machine, and if they’re going to do that, I’m not going to be happy,” Trump said.

Russia earlier on Tuesday weighed into the spat, with the Kremlin saying India was free to choose its own trading partners and that Trump’s tariff threats were “attempts to force countries to stop trade relations with Russia.”

“We do not consider such statements to be legitimate,” Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov continued, speaking to reporters Tuesday.

“We believe that sovereign countries should have, and have the right to choose their own trade partners, partners in trade and economic cooperation. And to choose those trade and economic cooperation regimes that are in the interests of a particular country.”

India hasn’t been a good trading partner, will raise tariffs over Russian oil: President Trump

Oil prices declined to around the mid-$65 a barrel mark on Tuesday as traders assessed the announcement by OPEC and its oil-producing allies on Sunday that they would hike output, amid potential weaker global demand.

After Trump’s comments on Tuesday, Brent crude futures were down 83 cents, or 1.2%, to $67.92 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 87 cents to $65.41.

Meanwhile, dark clouds certainly appear to be gathering on the horizon when it comes to Russia’s war-focused economy. It has labored under the weight of international sanctions as well as homegrown pressures, also largely resulting from war, such as rampant inflation and high food and production costs that even Putin described as “alarming.” Russia’s Economic Development Ministry also predicts that economic growth will slow from 4.3% in 2024 to 2.5% this year.

World record alert: 2026 Chevy Silverado EV Work Truck drove 1,060 miles on a single charge

World record alert: 2026 Chevy Silverado EV Work Truck drove 1,060 miles on a single charge

Move over, Lucid. There’s a new world record holder in EV range. Engineers at General Motors recently took a minimally modified version of the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Truck out on a real-world test and traveled a total distance of 1,059.2 miles from a single charge.

The Chevy Silverado EV may differentiate quite a bit mechanically from its ICE counterpart, which has been in production for nearly 30 years, but it has made a name for itself as a flagship model in General Motors’ all-electric lineup.

After debuting in 2022, the Silverado EV was released a year later as a full-size pickup in 2023. The two initial trims were fleet-focused work truck variants before a passenger-friendly RST version arrived in 2024. This summer, Chevy introduced the 2026 version of the Silverado EV, featuring an EPA range of 493 miles.

That range estimate also applies to the Max Pack Work Truck trim of the 2026 Silverado EV Work Truck, which GM engineers recently used to achieve a new world record for EV range, besting the previous leader by over 300 miles.

Silverado Work Trucks nabs EV world record for range

GM shared details of its recent world record-breaking EV range test this morning. Per the American automaker, this engineer-led challenge began as a passion project before evolving into a real-world test of a 2025 Chevy Silverado EV optimized for efficiency.

When we say “optimized,” we don’t mean this pickup was heavily modified to achieve such impressive range. Per GM, both the hardware and software of the Silverado EV Work Truck were left untouched. Here are the modifications that were made before testing:

  • Windshield wiper blade position lowered to reduce drag 
  • Tires inflated to their highest acceptable pressure for lower rolling resistance 
  • Spare tire removed reduce weight
  • Wheel alignment optimized 
  • Tonneau cover added for smoother airflow 
  • Climate control turned off for the duration of the test 
  • Testing was performed in summer for optimum ambient temperature for battery efficiency

With these optimization techniques in place, a team of 40 engineers at GM drove a production model Silverado EV WT on public roads near its Michigan proving ground over the course of seven days. To further optimize the EV’s range in hopes of a world record, GM said the engineers used “smart driving techniques” and limited the pickup’s speed to 20-25 mph the entire time.

The result was an industry milestone and, per GM, a new world record in EV range. The Silverado EV WT traveled 1,059.2 miles on a single charge, beating the previous record of 749 miles held by the Lucid Air Grand Touring. The pickup’s range tally also blew away the WT’s EPA-estimated range of 493 miles.

Contrary to GM, Guinness documented and confirmed Lucid’s EV range world record. Additionally, Lucid still wins in efficiency, as the Air Pure achieved 5 miles/kWh compared to 4.9 miles/kWh by the Silverado EV. However, that is not to take away from the team at GM, as this latest real-world test has achieved a welcome industry milestone that should be recognized and celebrated.

Congrats to GM and the engineers at Chevrolet!

Meet Hyundai’s smallest EVs yet: The E3W and E4W

Meet Hyundai's smallest EVs yet: The E3W and E4W

Hyundai’s thinking small, but aiming big. The E3W and E4W concepts, an electric tuk-tuk and mini four-wheeler, are Hyundai’s smallest EVs yet, but they could be a surprise hit.

Check out Hyundai’s E3W and E4W mini EV concepts

Earlier this year, we got our first look at the E3W and E4W at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo. Hyundai partnered with TVS Motor Company to bring the electric three-wheeler to life, while the four-wheeler is expected to make its way into global markets.

The E3W, an electric tuk-tuk, is custom-tailored to navigate India’s tight city roads. However, Hyundai stated that “the development of the Four-Wheeler is under review, with a focus on its global potential.”

Hyundai, in collaboration with TVS Motor, developed the three-wheeler with an adjustable body. This way, it can be lifted if the streets are flooded during the monsoon season.

The concept features larger tires for a smoother ride and even includes tow hooks, just in case you get stuck in a pothole.

Hyundai and Genesis global design boss SangYup Lee said, “We aim to locally produce the three-wheeler while exploring global opportunities for the four-wheeler.”

According to Hyundai, the new mini EVs offer more than just getting around the city. The automaker previewed several concepts for last-mile delivery, police, and even an “N” branded sporty-looking version.

Will Hyundai launch the E3W and E4W in other global markets, such as the US or Europe? Sorry to disappoint, but given America’s love for bigger trucks and SUVs, the mini EVs are unlikely to make the trip. Not to mention, the new auto tariffs would make it even more challenging.

Europe, however, could be a potential “global” market Hyundai is referring to. Hyundai is expected to reveal the new IONIQ 2 at the Munich Motor Show next month, the smallest from its dedicated EV series. It will sit between the Inster EV and Kona Electric in Hyundai’s lineup.

In the US, Hyundai is ramping up production at its new EV plant in Georgia, where it builds the IONIQ 5 and three-row IONIQ 9. The new and improved IONIQ 5 is coming off its best sales month to date in July.
